Hey everyone Largo and I have been working on a Book about Yosemite Climbing in the 50's due out next year. I've been gathering images for a couple of years now and the help and support that Kenny has given me is nothing short of Awesome.
The materials and artifacts that Ken has acquired and preserved is amazing, if not for him these precious things would be lost and destroyed without his efforts. He is continuing to search out and guard our Heritage, thank you Ken. . .df

Right On!
Now just when is Ken going to get the museum space/building so badly needed. Can't believe a building in the Valley of Wow can't be set aside for something so important and valuable.

Ken is a class act, head to toe. Anyone who would let Grant Hiskes and me bivy on his bocce ball court is truly a man of all seasons!

Agree, Bullwinkle!
Ken maybe rock climbing's most valuable anthropologist.
Looking forward to your's and John's new book.

I was so pleased to run into Ken at the base of El Cap a few years back.
It was a real treat, as is he, to all of us here.
Great climber, historian, clean up aficionado, friend of dirtbags and high muckety mucks alike, a walker of the walk he talks.
Thanks Ken!

Ken has given the history of climbing in Yosemite a respect and significance it may not have achieved without him. Well done, Ken - and keep it up! Looking forward to a real museum one of these days.

Man, I thought climbers just made fun of each other instead of saying nice things about our buds...
Oh well...
Ken is cool
